Kumotori Suicides: Seven

After wrapping up our very first year of episodes, we decided to take a little break to make sure every story we share meets the standard you deserve. We’re so excited to announce that we’ll be back with brand new episodes in January 2026!In the meantime, cozy up with bi-monthly re-releases of our International ODDities series—perfect for filling the gap until we return. Stay safe, stay cozy – we’ll see you back on the chesterfield in the new year, eh?In a small and quiet community of Kumatori, 7 young people died, one after the other over the course of two months. In this episode of International Oddities we will dissect the facts and speculate on whether this was a mass suicide, or mass murder, known as the Kumatori Suicides.
